| Description of the problem | Vehicle was traveling at a slow speed and the engine quit without warning. The engine stalling usually occurred s in low speed situations, like in town driving. When the engine stalled power steering failed without warning. Since that date the engine has quit a number of times, more than 10 times. It will restart after key was switched to off. I took the truck to a dealer on 2-28-07, and i was told the problem was with the throttle body. There were enough throttle bodies failing for these trucks that the supplier was out of units until almost a month later. Also, i was a told that this part wasn't under warranty. The truck ran erratically at low throttle settings.*ak |
